Tongue-in-Cheek DRS Remark by KL Rahul
On Sunday, wicketkeeper and batter of Indian cricket team KL Rahul, who returned to form after scoring the fastest century for India in a World Cup, was a relieved man, having spent some time in the middle before the big semi-final against New Zealand. Rahul took 62 balls to smash the fastest century for team India in a World Cup to better skipper Rohit Sharma's record of 63 balls vs. Afghanistan, as India posted a massive 410 for 4 against the Netherlands in their last group stage match." Rahul, who ended up with 102 off 64 balls, said in the mid-innings break that he had "not gotten a lot of time in the middle in the last two games, so it was nice to get some time today. He also said, "Batting at No. 5, it's important to get that confidence; it was a good knock. Getting that confidence to hit sixes towards the end was important.”
He also said, "It's not rocket science; you've got to go hard in the last 10 overs. I tried to get as many runs as possible; that was the plan. The ball gets softer, so hitting sixes at the back end becomes difficult. It's just not this game; everyone has a clear game plan, and we have been executing our plans pretty well.”
